With two games to go in most regular seasons coach Holmgren’s Wednesday press conference would normally include the quote, “business as usual,” but Sunday’s match up against Brett Favre and the New York Jets is anything but that.

Every Wednesday coach Holmgren meets with the local media and questions range from who’s injured to who’s playing well to what kind of challenge the opponent will present on Sunday.

This week not a single question was asked about the actual game between the Seahawks and Jets, not one. All of the attention was focused on Holmgren’s final home game at Qwest Field.

After listing a few of the highlights he’ll remember from his 10 years in Seattle, coach Holmgren smiled and said, “I will always remember this place.”

He had so much success in Green Bay with Brett Favre as his quarterback that it’s fitting to have Favre witness his former coach’s final game in Seattle.

“It adds to it, that’s a small part of it,” said Holmgren. “I just think there’s tremendous irony about the whole thing. If we weren’t playing the Jets though, you know I’m emotional. Hopefully I’ll do a decent job calling plays and stuff in this game, and then after that there’s going to be emotions on Sunday.”

It has to be difficult for Holmgren not to get caught up in his emotions this week. Game-planning for the Jets, coaches meetings and practice will serve as a much needed distraction for the veteran coach. The emotions will take over soon enough.

“It’s starting to sink in a little bit, but we’re still pretty busy. My week is the same. The fact that (my family) came over here and we did some stuff here at the facility on Monday, as those things happen, it’s going to start to sink in a little bit yeah.”

To complete the script for Sunday’s game in true Disney style one would expect a light snow to begin falling just seconds after an overtime field goal gives the Seahawks a 24-21 victory. Coach Holmgren gets a goodbye hug from Brett Favre. They exchange a short conversation at midfield that reporters will ask about later but neither will share. Favre heads for the visiting locker room and Holmgren walks slowly off the field waving to the 68,000 fans who have braved the chilly winter afternoon to say thank you and goodbye
